DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THEY MAKE LOWERED LEAF SPRINGS OR
MONO LEAFS FOR A 72 K5 BLAZER? IF NOT I KNOW I WILL NEED
A FLIP KIT FOR THE REAR AXLE CONV. WHERE CAN I GET ONE?

They make em for the pickups, So I would think they make em for the Blazers. You can always have yours de-arched also.

Oh my God, Why would you want to convert your Blazer from 4 wheel to 2 wheel.
Just pretend that the 4x4 shifter knob isn't there and condition yourself to believe that it is only a 2 wheel.

You might regret it later when you get caught in a ditch or something. What if it happens to snow down there (I really don't know how much snow you get or if it snows at all in TN).

because you can't get the front end low enough because the axle hits.

Ok, I see. I didn't make the connection that you were dropping it.
Thanks for clearing that up zenish.

LUV2XCLR8, So it really doesn't snow in TN. You don't know what you are missing. You don't see the grass up here from December till March.
